Kyrou’s award-winning week began with a hat trick and one assist in an 8-2 win over the North Bay Battalion last Thursday.

He scored the winning goal Friday in a 5-2 victory over the Sudbury Wolves, then had three assists Saturday in a 7-2 win over the Barrie Colts.

The 19-year-old from Toronto is second in the OHL scoring race with 22 points, one fewer than Nick Suzuki of the Owen Sound Attack.

His 14 assists are tied for second in the league behind Attack defenceman Sean Durzi’s 15.

He notched his 200th career point last week. He now has 203 points in 205 regular-season games during four seasons with the Sting.

Kyrou was also named last week to Team OHL for the annual CIBC Canada Russia Series. He’ll play Nov. 9 in Owen Sound.

He was a second-round pick by the St. Louis Blues in the 2016 NHL draft. He ranked sixth in OHL scoring last season with a career-high 94 points.

Fazio award runner-up

Sting goalie Justin Fazio was also considered for the OHL player of the week award after going 2-0 while stopping 78 of 82 shots for a .951 save percentage.

The 20-year-old Sarnia native has a 9-1-0-0 record.

He’s second in the OHL in save percentage (.933) and fourth in goals-against average (2.37).

Fazio also set the Sting record for career wins with his 64th on Saturday.

The old record was held by Patrick Desrochers, who played parts of four seasons with the Sting in the late 1990s and is now the colour commentator on the team’s radio broadcasts.

The goaltending tandem of Fazio and Aidan Hughes has helped the Sting allow only 31 goals, the second-fewest in the OHL. The Hamilton Bulldogs have allowed 28, but they’ve played two fewer games than the Sting.

First versus second

The Soo Greyhounds (9-2-2-0) will visit Progressive Auto Sales Arena on Friday at 7:05 p.m. They’re second in the overall standings, four points behind the Sting.

The Sting will also host the Flint Firebirds at 2:05 p.m. Sunday. Children’s tickets cost $6. A Halloween costume parade for the kids will take place during the second intermission.
